All your help is much appreciated.

I-129F petition was approved on the 22nd Feb 2010, due to lack of time and my fiance deploying we had to extend the petition for 4 months, which would mean it would have expired on 22nd June 2010.

Things have turned around not for the good with us, and i want to withdrawl my petition. I have not sent any of packet 3 to the consulate, last thing that was done was the extension. Im gathering it would have expired?? Im going overseas to asia in 3 weeks, to get myself back on track, will i have trouble exiting Australia or entering Indonesia as i have not cancelled/withdrawn my petition?

I if i was to just leave the petition and ignore it what would happen? Does the consulate austomatically withdraw it? if so do they advise me of this?

Thanks in advance for all your help.

The petition was just an approval for the non-immigrant fiance (I'm guessing you?) to APPLY for a visa. If none of the application documents have been sent to the embassy, you haven't applied for it. If you drop everything now, the petition simply expires. You shouldn't have any problems.

Sorry to hear things didn't work out. I wish you both the best of luck.

The foreign beneficiary cannot withdraw the petition. Only the US Citizen (Petitioner) can do so. You can inform the Consulate that you are no longer interested in applying for a visa.

Seconded. If the foreign beneficiary simply fails to return the Packet 3 forms, the entire process will quietly end when the approved petition expires.

Unless Australia's laws are radically different than either the US's or Canada's, you don't have to report to anyone when you leave the country, assuming you are an Australian citizen. Neither Australia's nor Indonesia's customs and immigration people are going to care at all about any petitions, applications, or processes you have going with the US Department of State or USCIS, or any other branch of the US government for that matter - it's completely irrelevant to them.

DON'T PANIC
